We take summer fun seriously here at PMC!

During our clinics, children are able to develop emotional, social and cognitive skills while having FUN in a sensory-rich environment! Each child that participates in one of PMC's summer clinics will be challenged to achieve individual & group goals while building confidence.

Benefits of Summer Activities for Children

Play Time = Developmental Growth!

Summer programs are the perfect way for children to mix up their "normal" school year routine to explore new activities.  While our summer clinics are structured, "free play" time is intentionally added to each day to provide children with the opportunity to explore & create! During free play, self-regulating and thinking skills are built through imaginative play. This encourages further  development of curiosity, wonder, creativity and so much more!

1. Develops Cognitive Skills

Summer activities give children the chance to learn through play! Children at play create, experiment, think, solve problems and learn! Through play, children are developing their cognitive skills which equipments them to solve more and more complex problems!

2. Improve Emotional Skills

Oftentimes during our summer clinics, children are exposed to a lot of new experiences. These experiences include new environments, new activities, new crafts, and new friends. Children will develop more emotional skills as they face new experiences, becoming more confident each day.

3. Improve Social Skills

Children are able to interact with their peers and teachers in a fun, relaxed setting. Children will listen to one another, communicate with one another and work together to get through challenges, and enjoy games/activities, promoting social skill development.

4. Promotes Independence

During scheduled free play time, students are encouraged to explore and may choose how they want to play, promoting independence and self-sufficiency while having fun, creative play time!

6. Teaches Teamwork

The ability to work with a team is a skill that is useful throughout one's life. Our summer clinics encourage teamwork and cooperation as children problem-solve challenges and play together! As children work with one another, they are developing stronger social, cognitive and emotional skills.

7. Stronger Than Yesterday

Students will develop new skills as they try new activities in a fun, supportive environment. The goal for each student is personal growth, becoming stronger than they were yesterday!

8. Builds Self-Esteem

Empower. Achieve. Inspire! Our instructors teach new skills, support individual goals, and challenge our students to reach their own unique potential, which boosts the self-esteem of each student!

9. Supports Healthy Living

During our summer clinics, children can participate in all kinds of fun physical activities in an interactive, neurologically-centered sensory environment. Our fun, movement-based games both entertain and support healthy living!

10. Develop and Nurture Friendships

Children get to interact with other peers in a fun setting. Through shared experiences (including overcoming challenges such as obstacle courses or a creative art project) children create and nurture genuine connections with one another.
